“…According to Yeung (2004), environmental concern (EC) is "an attribute that can represent a person's worries, likes and dislikes about the environment'. Similarly, Kim and Choi (2005), describe EC as "an individual's general orientation toward the environment and an individual's concern level as to environmental issues".…”

“…It is only when an individual is both concerned and worried about the his or her impact on the environment (Yeung, 2004) and generally oriented to positive environmental actions (Kim and Choi, 2005) than such individuals will likely help to prevent environmental degradation and be willing to engage in sustainable green development (Tantawi et al 2009). …”

Recently Human Resources Management (HRM) functions such as recruitment, selection, training and performance evaluation are expected in considering environmental management (EM) issues. Environmental protective acts with adequate ecological knowledge and socioeconomic behavior and skills are referred to in this paper as green competencies. However, a systematic approach for developing and understanding key factors that enhance individuals' green competencies is lacking. This study contributes to green human resource literature by integrating environmental consumer behavior literature with traditional skills and competencies literature to help firms to select the right individuals to achieve their environmental goals. Using Robert's competencies framework and structural equation modeling (SEM), this paper empirically examines the influence of individual green competencies on organizations' green practices and performance objectives. Our model is tested using a sample of 1,230 employees working in key industries in the Chinese coastal city of Ningbo. The results indicate that acquired green competencies are more positively associated with individuals' green competencies and green behavior. The study empirically demonstrates that verifying acquired green competence attributes such as environmental knowledge, green purchase attitude and intention during employee selection would certainly be helpful for firms to identify individual green performance potential.

“…Environmental concern is the consumer's emotional immersion with respect to different environmental matters (Lee, 2008). Yeung (2004) has reported that environmental concern denotes several things which are consumer's qualms, uncertainties, likes, dislikes and sympathy when it comes to the environment. Environmental concern is considered a vital variable that affects consumers decision making (Jain & Kaur, 2004), since previous studies established that consumers that are extremely anxious toward the environment are the ones that will take extra measures when purchasing products by calculating and examining how their purchases are likely to affect the environment in some way.…”

Determinants of Consumer Purchasing Intention toward Energy-Efficient Bulbs 1. Introduction Light usage is considered to be almost 20 percent of the world's produced electricity. So, this percentage can be saved by using energy efficient bulbs instead of incandescent bulbs, since efficient bulbs tend to last longer, consume twothirds less energy, and produce less heat by 70 percent. Therefore, using efficient bulb have a lot of advantages since it eliminates greenhouse effect, reduce energy cost and save the environment, which are very important issues. Although, replacing incandescent bulbs by energy efficient bulbs is vital, they are not fully adopted. Many governments have tried to promote the switch of bulbs, and some ways by banning the incandescent bulbs which are energy-inefficient and trying to substitute them with other energy saving technologies like LEDs (Uddin S, Shareef, 2013). Then when comparing incandescent bulbs with energy efficient bulbs, the result will be that the energy efficient bulbs are less costly and better on the environment, so it saves both money and the environment. Therefore, we conducted this study with the aim of identifying, examining and better understanding the "Factors That Affects Energy-Efficient Bulbs Purchase Intention". This study will evaluate these factors with respect to the point of view of the consumers, in order to understand which factors specifically influence consumers to acquire specific attitudes that influence the purchase of energy-efficient bulbs. Hence, for the purpose of analyzing consumers perceptions, and its link with other factors, different models of attitude will be applied. This research intentions are to explore the reasons that impact the purchasing intentions of energy-efficient bulbs, this section provides an overview, and covers the research objectives, research problem, research questions and research importance. Therefore, the research aims first to find out the determinants of energy efficient bulb purchase intention to help policy makers in expressing and executing strategies to boost energy-efficient bulbs purchasing. Second to understand the consumers awareness levels and their behavior against the environment. Third, it intends to discern which factors affect the consumer behavior of energy efficient bulbs more than other factors. Fourth to develop a framework that reflects the main factors influencing consumer behavior for energy efficient bulbs. And finally, in order to find out which of the following factors have a positive or negative impact on the purchasing decision of energy efficient bulbs; Environmental Concern, Knowledge, Attitude, Advertisement, Eco-label, Brand or Price Concern. During the last decades global warming increased environmental pollution which resulted in a decline in flora and fauna. These are three main serious harm to the environment produced by the increase of consumer's ingestion of goods and services (Chen & Chai, 2010). Moreover, what makes the situation even worse, energy consumption also increased treme...

Resumo O estudo teve como objetivo verificar como a geração e o gênero (fatores moderadores) interferem nas relações entre compra verde e atitude ambiental, influência social, preocupação ambiental, gravidade percebida dos problemas ambientais, responsabilidade ambiental, preocupação com a autoimagem e comportamento inovador. Para tanto, foi desenvolvida pesquisa descritiva e causal, com abordagem quantitativa, e como instrumento de coleta de dados foram aplicados questionários a jovens universitários. Os questionários foram elaborados com base nos estudos de Doughfous, Petrof e Pons (1999) e de Lee (2008). Os achados demonstram que as gerações Y e Z influenciam a relação entre preocupação ambiental e compra verde, influência social e compra verde; e, os gêneros feminino e masculino influenciam a relação entre influência social e compra verde.
